Its rare for even a poor battery to drain completely unless there is a constant power drain running, and the alarm is very low current... ?
Yup, You got it, I think i found the fault yesterday.
Last time the misses drove she must have used the mirror on the sun visor and didnt close the shutter when finished. I know the light is meant to turn off when the visor is put in its full upright position, but it never was fully pushed all the way "flat" against the roof, just up enough that I couldnt see that the light was on. I hope that was it anyway!

*ALWAYS* worth having a pair of jump leads in the wheel well or squirled away somewhere as you can't bump start an auto (you'd need to be doing 30 or something when i looked into it).
Hi Lee.
Its a good idea, I have a set in all 3 of the minis but never thought to put some in the Audi!
